Commercial roll-up doors can consist of rolling steel doors, sectional doors, or sheet doors. Rolling steel doors and sheet doors are the most commonly found commercial doors and often thought of interchangeably, however they are in fact significantly different and each offers their own pros vs cons. 

Rolling steel doors (or RSD’s) are made up of interlocking single steel slats. These doors are designed with strength in mind and are great for businesses who need high security and durability.  Rolling steel doors are built to last with low cost maintenance and when they fail or are damaged they can usually be completely repaired

Sheet doors, unlike rolling steel doors, are made up of one solid piece of corrugated steel and are generally made of a lighter duty steel. A sheet door has a shorter life expectancy than RSD’s and major repairs can cost about as much as the installation of a new door. 

Both rolling steel doors and corrugated steel sheet doors have their advantages. When considering cost, security and life expectancy each door should be considered. Rolling steel doors can offer the security your business needs whereas sheet doors can be the best solution for your budget.
